A dream in the Pyrenees …⛰️🌥️ This is A dream in the Pyrenees …⛰️🌥️

This is the “South of France” that you don’t hear as much about during the summer but it is such a gem.

We booked this “gîte” for a family vacation a few summers ago with little knowledge about the region. Tucked in the mountains but not far from sea (and the Spanish border), this spot was rustic, quaint and had these amazing views.

Nearby attractions include the colorful village of Collioure, Benedictine Abbey and Cloisters in Arles-sur-Tech and the Gorges de la Fou.

FACT:  traveling with kids, especially young kids is a lot of work 😅. And it can be so easy to talk yourself out of things, or put off traveling till later in life.

But the truth is, none of us know how much time we have in this earth and I want to see as much of it as I can while I’m young(ish), healthy and able. I believe the sooner we expose our kids to the process of traveling and to new cultures and experiences, the more adaptable they will be to it as they grow. 💫

I LOVE a Provence Market! 
🍋👒🦪💐🧺👗

Markets or “le marche” are a huge part of French culture and the colors, sights and smells of a weekend market in Provence are just fantastic! Some of my favorite items to shop for:

🧼 Soap: Marseille is famous for “Savon de Marseille” but beware of price gouging, especially in touristy markets. In Marseille you can find it for €1/bar at the Castellane Market, so make sure you stock up!

👒 Clothing & Accessories: I’ve gotten some really cute dresses, pants, sandals, hats & purses at the market! If you see something you like for the right price, make sure to pick it up because not every vendor comes to the same market everyday.

🍯 Honey & Jams: These are great gifts to bring home (make sure you wrap them well in your suitcase 😬)

What are some of your favorite market finds?
